The OpenCA PKI Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
full-featured and Open Source out-of-the-box Certification Authority
implementing the most used protocols with full-strength cryptography
world-wide.
OpenCA is based on many Open-Source Projects. Among the required software
there are OpenLDAP, OpenSSL, Apache Project, Apache mod_ssl.

The project development is divided in two main tasks: studying and refining
the security scheme that guarantees the best model to be used in a CA and
developing software to easily setup and manage a Certification Authority.

The new version of OpenCA PKI package 1.1.0 (samba) is almost ready, its
release date will be available as soon as the testing phase will be
over (sometime mid February).
